Former Mark Hatfield staffers visit WU campus for lunchtime chat

Monday, Nov. 18 | Noon-1 p.m. | The Hatfield Room, Hatfield Library

You’re Invited to a brownbag lunch discussion with former staff to U.S. Senator Mark Hatfield. These public servants, many of whom are WU alumni, give us our best possible look into the life and legacy of Oregon's greatest statesman. They also remind us of Willamette's unique role in Oregon politics now and in the past.

A feature-length documentary film highlighting the leadership and career of the late Senator Hatfield will premiere Tuesday, November 19 in Portland. In conjunction with this event, these former Hatfield colleagues decided they wanted to pay Willamette a visit. This gathering will provide an opportunity for an informal discussion of the senator, his career, and most importantly, the staffers’ personal experiences working alongside Hatfield through many incredible moments in Oregon and United States history.

Bring your own lunch and lots of questions for this causal get-together. Light refreshments will be provided.

For additional information, please contact Mary McRobinson, university archivist, at 503-370-6764 or mmcrobin@willamette.edu.
